OKAY So Manila Philippines Is NOT What I Expected???

I’ve heard it all: Manila is “third-world,” filled with slums, dangerous, and everyone’s out to scam you. So when I finally moved here over a year ago, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Now, I’m here to tell you the REAL TRUTH about Manila, Philippines, and why it’s NOT what everyone back in the U.S. warned me about. 😮
In this video, I take you on a deep dive into the heart of the city, sharing my raw, unfiltered experiences as a 43-year-old American who left Portland, Oregon, to find something better. From stunning high-rise views in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) to unexpected encounters in the rain, I break down what life is really like here and why it’s far from the stereotypes. 🌆☀️🌧️
So whether you're considering moving abroad, want to learn more about the Philippines, or just need a dose of motivation, you’re in the right place. 💯
🚨 Let’s start a conversation! Do you think the Philippines is on the right track with Bongbong Marcos as president? What’s your take on the upcoming Trump vs. Harris election? How do you think American politics affects life in the Philippines? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! 🗨️

Just keep providing a fair and unbiased evaluation of the Philippines, and I'm sure you'll reach your goal of a million subscribers. Power on my compatriot!

you’ll definitely see more developments happening in different areas of Manila and even outside the metro! Philippines has become one of the fastest growing economies in the Pacific region!

BGC is just one of the grand plan to fully develop our greater Manila. Just take C5 and you will find several sprouting mini cities. Those will be the staples of metro manila in a not so distant future. Meanwhile, those in the 1st world are trying to survive daily under a chaotic environment. Sad but true ❤

United Airlines is the worse. Overweight,angry old women who could care less about customer service. KoreanAir or Philippine Air great service and great eye candy.
